    We’ve learned by this point fascism is an inherently right wing ideology.

    If you seriously think the Nazis were socialists or Stalin was a communist then you should just accept you like fascism.

      That image isn’t saying that they aren’t hard right. It’s saying the standard spectrum of left right doesn’t account for how practically similar the two extremes actually are in how they operate.

      Bear in mind that we are actually talking about extremes at those ends of the shoe. Genocidal dictators. Trump is not Hitler or Stalin. He’s not that far around the horseshoe, yet.

      I have never read a more nonsensical piece of logic in my life.
